Abstract

The paper studies the writer’s linguistic worldview and his idiolect using the field method. The individual artistic language system was studied through construction of lexico-semantic fields (LSF) and other lexical groups. Instead of focusing on some specific features of the writer’s language, we carried out a full analysis. This approach allows us to see how, according to the writer’s worldview, the facts of the national language and specific individual elements become well-organized. In addition, it gives a full understanding of the writer’s individual language system underlying his linguistic worldview. The field method allows one to describe a holistic, structured worldview fragment. The structuring and analysis of the writer’s LSF demonstrate how the major categories and concepts are expressed in the writer’s individual language system as well as highlights their specificity in his artistic outlook. The writer’s LSF’s differ from the national language in terms of structure and composition due to the specific nature of his perception of the world. The analysis of the lexico-semantic system was based on the characteristic features of the derivational, paradigmatic and syntagmatic parts of the fields, establishment of intrastructural and external relationships, and field modelling as a whole. All microsystems vary in scope and significance: some bear the basic meaning, others map out some external relationships or establish interfield relationships. Without doubt, the analysis of interfield relationships is important as well. Each LSF is part of a larger unity, entering into complex relationships with other field structures, which are like parallel worlds at the meeting point. The most interesting in the study of the writer’s linguistic worldview are minor semes, or potential, nonce, personal, emotive semes and those with secondary meaning, as they help create a unique individual worldview.
